I thought most of the music was easy to listen to, but I would have liked a more modern or hip approach to some of the music. At least some of these guys seemed like guys who would listen to modern music, like hip-hop, and I would have liked to have seen more variety in the music, making it relate more to a younger, hipper audience. I did think the music helped make the characters more real, along with the storyline. It showed they were not stupid or "losers" because they were out of work, and showed they could be creative when they needed to be, and had ideas, ideals, and dreams, just like anyone else.
A enjoyed the dancing too, and thought they did a good job choreographing it, especially to make it look like they did not know what they were doing, when you could tell they really did. Overall, I found the play more enjoyable than I thought I would, and I would recommend it to friends and family. It left me with...
I enjoyed the music, the acting, and the script. I would have liked to have seen more variety in the music, and I would have liked a bit more interaction between the women in the show. I know the show is about a lot of things, like issues, how men and women see themselves and each other, and about employment issues in a modern world. All of this worked to make the play deeper and more meaningful and not just some show about stripping and humor. It was more than that, and I liked that. I just thought that there could have been more depth to the female characters that supported their men through difficult times. Other than that, I felt the play was well written, well acted, the music was fun, and the entire experience was enjoyable. I don't know if I would see it again, but I am glad I had the opportunity to see it now.
Prowriter)) Comedy in Television and Theater There are many forms of comedy, but two of the largest distinctions are high comedy and low comedy. "High comedy[…]evokes "intellectual laughter" -- thoughtful laughter from spectators who remain emotionally detached from the action" (Abrams, Harpham 51). A television show which incorporates high comedy is Monty Python's Flying Circus. "The Dead Parrot Sketch" is one such example of satire and witty banter which requires the
Musicals Since the dawn of the classical Broadway musicals like Oklahoma! And My Fair Lady, musicals have captivated audiences in America and worldwide. The power of the musical cannot be underestimated. As Chapter 13 points out, musicals have their roots far back before New York City or Broadway. China has a long tradition of opera, in which dramas are set alongside poignant musical numbers. European operatic traditions are also the forebears
Fences & Topdog/Underdog The course of dramatic literature reveals truths of the human condition. Drama is a study of human nature, its tendencies and reactions, its inner-most thoughts. Every play chooses as its theme various facets of humanity to study in various contexts, and some explore multiple ideas, indeed, the more, the richer the play. Take, for example, Fences by August Wilson, and Topdog/Underdog by Suzan-Lori Parks, each of which
He has also learned to appreciate an even wider and more eclectic variety of music than even his mother enjoyed. But without an early musical foundation and exposure to music as a part of life, he does not think he would be nearly as adventurous. The pairing of certain musical styles against one another, like posh vs. common, classical vs. contemporary, and Mod vs. Rock, has more to do
Physical Comedy on Film Sophisticated, Funny and Physical: The Romances of Astaire and Rogers Physical comedy brings to mind Moe, Larry and Curly bopping each other over the head. Or it might suggest Lucille Ball stuffing chocolates into her mouth, her blouse or anyplace except on the conveyor belt in the neat little rows the candy-making supervisor intended. (Or better, her boozy bout with VitaMeataVegamin, the Peppy Picker-Upper.) A thousand reruns of
Leading Change Positive Change at the Library One of the most profound change efforts I have been a part of took place shortly after I completed my undergraduate degree. My town's local library was undergoing severe budget cuts due to some decidedly impecunious actions on the part of civic leaders, who essentially squandered away my town's budget (for their personal gain) so badly that many of its programs were being cut due
